Not much doing on the Greenock dams this lunchtime. Most birds seem to have given up on their breeding attempts, although two pairs of Coots were still feeding young. This evening, the skies over Cardonald were devoid of any bird life. The Swifts have certainly gone, and the Swallows and House Martins may have moved on as well. One species actually better represented was House Sparrow with more seen this evening (6) than in the last fortnight.
